ir_cow Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 I haven't found a better forum yet, OCC is the only one I know of that isn't full of complete idiots. There may be smart ones but most of the time I ask a question on a forum, I get either a completely wrong response (finding out later) or a asshole saying I should know better. This is why OCC rocks and people have been here for 10+ years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyfire Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 +1 I'm a member of a few other forums and sadly most of the others are filled with young smart mouthed punks, fanbois, and just plain idiots. OCC it the best of the best in my mind! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why OCC rocks and people have been here for 10+ years. We're only partial idiots. I can't stand doing a google search on a topic and then having it lead me to a forum full of assholes saying to use the search feature. Instead of saying that AND linking to a thread with the answer, they make it more difficult for those of us that actually search.

Bosco Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 The site has slowed down a lot when it comes to the forums. But I will say one thing, pretty much most of the loyal people always come back even years later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarWeeny Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 A solid 4 years have gone by, although i came here in 2008, but never bothered to make an account back then. And not to mention, i already passed the half year period on me joining the staff D: Time flies when you are having fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) Suchapotato, do I remember right that your original screen name was utes8 or something like that? Edited May 14, 2014 by Phil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I will say one thing, pretty much most of the loyal people always come back even years later. The forums slowed down because we are just so good at giving answers all anyone has to do is look a few thread back I think we should have some contest hunts for prizes! make people look!

I have been thinking of doing something like that. I just need a couple of good prizes to make it worth your guys effort. I will see what I can do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
suchuwato Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) Suchapotato, do I remember right that your original screen name was utes8 or something like that? Yeah, I think so - had forgotten about that I think the slowdown may be a natural consequence of the current tech landscape (I don't know if this has been discussed much here before) I certainly haven't felt the need to do any 'real' overclocking or tuning for a while - my computer feels plenty fast enough at stock - especially since on the rare occasion I play a videogame it's on a console. The OverDrive feature on my graphics card works great, and the limiting factor is really the cooling. The other day I was colour grading a 45min film of mixed 4K and 5K RAW footage and monitoring it in 2K in realtime; on a 3-4 year old machine I don't have a fileserver at home anymore - I use Amazon services and big internal and external disks - or any other computers apart from my main desktop (I got rid of all of them recently...) All my friends who I used to build computers for now have iPads and smart TVs and MacBooks, so nothing doing there. It was awesome back in the day when you could have a cutting-edge machine and tweak the hell out of it and see/feel results. Now it seems to me to be prohibitively expensive with diminishing returns - don't get me wrong I'd love a box that could crunch faster, but I don't need it, and you've got to be pretty dedicated to stats and benchmarks to sink a few thousand into a machine. Also with all the enthusiast products out there now, it's not really so cool or underground and exciting anymore... but maybe I'm just a stupid hipster doofus Time flies when you are having fun. It sure does! Edited May 15, 2014 by suchuwato Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
